Verden is a very attractive town in Saxony, and equally famous for its beautiful cathedral as it is for its wonderful horses. The Saxons were a great horse culture, and this has been carried on in Verden in the form of a love of horse breeding, racing, and sports horse auctions.
The town's cobbled streets needn't put visitors off from obtaining car hire in Verden - you'll soon find that it's easy enough to get around without having to resort to walking around and getting sore, tired legs from all the uneven surfaces.
Verden has an amazing horse museum, which is where the old cavalry barracks used to be. The displays and information aren't just about the military, but about the history of the horse throughout the ages. The museum also has a simulator on which you can gallop down a race track, and even the chance to drive a real horse and carriage.
Hiring a car in Verden will also allow you great access to the nearby towns of Hannover and Bremen; these places also have many great sights worth visiting for the day, along with great nightlife and accommodation options.
